I know you guys are focusing on how much Vicky's vocals improved and her growls are like solid rock now, but can we stop for a moment to appreciate this drum beast called Simon? Holy shit bro, Simon is killing it.
He's an absolute beast
Yes credit to the drummer he is pure belta
Appreciate them all.
Love them all.
The band is amazing!
Vicky is awsome no doubt but those drum fills and blast beats are on fuckiing point.
Lorena Sanches no kidding that guys a savage
Not gonna lie, this is the first time I've listened to the Agonist since Alyssa left... this song kills it! I love the contrast of angelic vocals, blast beats, and the shredding lick. The screams vs. clean interludes, and the gutturals at the end. There's a lot going on here and I'm soaking it all up. Great job everyone!
This is the type of Agonist I remember. Keep it up guys.
IKR!
This is the rebirth of The Agonist.
Her screaming (well and growing) really improved. I also really like this song.
"We go down, down, down!"
I love the throwback to "As Above, So Below".
Oh my goodness. Those backing clean vocals are heavenly and then my jaw just dropped at those low growls. Well done, The Agonist!
(reposting this under my most favourite songs of the band.)
RIP The Agonist 2004-2023.
I don't know if you guys will ever read this, but that's a love letter to The Agonist:
Thank You for everything, for the lyricism, the melodies, the heavy parts, the lighter parts, the parts in-between, just thanks for everything, my favourite band even after it's gone. You guys weren't afraid to experiment, this song and overall album is proof, (unlike a certain, now-mainstream band that I won't name, which was the source of TA's reputation to be hurt, even though you guys (and you Vicky) are nothing but incredibly sweet human beings) I've been listening to you all since I discovered you guys back in '12, I won't stop supporting you all even though the band is over, whereas it's by keeping on listening to your material, or by supporting and sharing your other endeavors.
Merci pour les headbangs les gars !!
Thank you for the kind words.
@@simonmckay6607 Oh!!! Idk you had a channel, Simon! Well, you just got a new subscriber hehe 😄
Be warned: The Agonist has returned to Super saiyan form. Vicky has reached her full transformation and there is nothing we can do to stop it.
Nah, its more
Vigita(i know its spelt wrong) here is my super sayan form
Vikki Yeah right here's me just singing
Vigita: (in a hole in about 90 buluding) Was not expecting that
@@harlequinfoxgothmaidboybellatr all we need is a good villian and we can pitch this to Toei :D
Best comment. 😂
Well according to the evolution of the last albums, I'm bold to proclaim:
THAT'S NOT EVEN HER FINAL FORM!
Her voice evolved for sure....but I think she can impove it even more, starting to like her more than Alissa TBH.
Even after hearing it a thousand times I still get goosebumps every time Vicky switches her singing style in combination with the melody, guitar and drums (especially the ending), its just epic and Im so looking forward to the new album! Keep it up guys!
Vicky's voice has improved a lot. She's really finding her own style without trying too hard to sound like Alissa. Those growls at the end were insane! And musically, this sounds more like old Agonist, which is definitely a plus.
Alissa is shit compared to Angela and this singer. Alissa cannot deep growl like this at all or scream as loud as Angela.
@@stonecold5373 You just posted a comment saying you've never listened to this band before this song, you don't know shit about Alissa's vocal range.
@@BirdsElopeWithTheSun09 um, you must not have heard of arch enemy? because she doesn't have shit on Angela or this chick.
@@stonecold5373 I'd recommend you go listen to "Eulogies sang me to sleep" and you can hear how deep she can go. Arch Enemy has a certain style and the means her vocals must also be in that same style, rather than the varied high and lows she did in The Agonist.
Thwompthing
Have you listened to '...and Their Eulogies Sang Me To Sleep'? Because at the end of that, similarly to Vicky in this song, Alissa uses very low vocals.
And just watch Arch Enemy performing, specifically songs like 'We Will Rise' and 'Dead Eyes See No Future', because Alissa is very loud there - just like Angela. Don’t call a queen 'shit', and if you’re going to try to justify that bullshit, at least get your facts straight.
What? Her growls sounds awesome. 😍😍😍😍😳
Wow, they really delivered a song that slaps you in the face. Those deep growls at the end nailed it to perfection! Well done!! What a comeback song!!
I just hope all pop music were like this
The Agonist back to its roots. Wonderful.
The origin of the agonist.... Old soul has return
THAT'S AN ACE!!!! THAT'S PURE FIRE!!! JAW DROPPING AT 4:15 !
I could never listen to The Agonist song without stopping but this song is on repeat, Vicky has improved so much and I cant wait to hear the rest of the album.
From now, I have to say I *used to* be skeptical about Vicky and sure that The Agonist ended with Alissa's departure. This is a GLORIOUS track! One of their best ever.
Vicky Is the Best replacement in history
She made the band go SUPER SAIYAN
I dare to say she's even better than Alissa
lol not even close. You should stop smoking crack
Well... Since Alissa left, view numbers plummeted. Just compare Arch Enemy video views with Agonist.
And I hate how Alissa doesn't sing anymore, she totally wasted her talent in Arch Enemy. She had a beautiful voice
@@bajszosjozsef4850 that's true but she sang clean vocals in a song called reason to believe very much but i think she should sing more clean vocals.
the vocals at the end of the song: beastly
SO much better than that dry fry screaming throughout. She's gonna blow her chords out doing that.
I didn't realize how much I missed The Agonist. This very well might be the _best_ they've ever sounded, too.
This song is really amazing, the chorus gives it darkness, very good vocals, growls, the guitars very well done, the drums are power, perfect composition.
One of my favorite songs of The Agonist so far.
This is what we were waiting for. She found her style. Awesome!
Yes Totally! But I think Jinjer have broken some walls... Now The Agonist have found a clear direction... as they were before!
Vicky is easily the most versatile female vocalist in metal now. Love her.
Diego Calderón never heard of her. Vicky is objectively the best.
Whenever this topic comes up i always think about Floor Jansen first, a soprano that can do brutal vocals ffs, it's a shame we don't get to hear it in Nİghtwish. And then there is also Tatiana Shmaylyuk of Jinjer. Alissa, Vicky... All these women deserve more than what they get
deutschesmaedchen tanya from Monochromatic Black is the best imo
What about Adrienne Cowan?
@@THEBLUETIGER911 Helena Iren Michaelsen too. Opera vocals, her "witchy vocals", clean vocals and even growls in the most recent Imperia release (which actually is generic ngl but still)
dem holy moollyyy growls at the end: PERFECTION
Really sad that the agonist has come to an end
Its too much!! wow wow wow!!!
I honestly thought The Agonist slowly died after Alissa left for Arch Enemy... guess I'm eating my words. Truly enjoyed the song
Well but Alsissa would still fit much better in the band as Vicki...
alyssa never left the agonist kick her out
@@deadmanwalking4372
Well that's what she says the agonist claims that she left. No one knows what's true except for them
All of us get served surprises sometimes...
Well i always thought that's the end of AE once angela was out and alissa in. As i never like agonist back then. And i like agonist now because of vicky
I think I'm gonna listen it again, she is brutal, even her clean vocals are good.
Vicky... The new Godness 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
*Goddess
Alissa is Goddess not Vicky. :)
Interesting how she switches amongst 3 different kind of sing
Something tells me The Agonist has gone back to there roots and I can dig that !!
this song is great !!!!
Are you joking? this is not heavy metal and without Queenbeast they suck shit!!!
Holy mother this is SICK
WOW. Vicky always sounded amazing to me, but here she is absolutely perfect! Those vocals and growls are incredible :O
I've always liked her vocals too and I'm glad she's getting respected from this one. 🤘😀
the best song from the album
So good! love vicky vocals looking forward to the 6th album
I can't believe this song hasn't hit a million views yet and we're already past three months. Fuck this world.
This is the Agonist stile we love!
How can I like this a thousand times?
Deep growls are as scary as Vicki's bangs!! Killer!
Guys, you absolutely made me fall in love with you all over again.
And I've always loved you in the first place!
THIS. IS. GOLD.
Great song, the head voices give a majestic touch, mermaid-like.
Holy shit. I’m watching this with my daughter and both of our heads just exploded. Absolutely incredible 😵😵🤘🤘
"In Vertigo"
A little too big and a little too small
The thing is that life isn't one size fits all
So take a sip and a couple of bites
And lay back to feast with your own eyes
Down down down the rabbit hole!
Wake up to see the tiny world at your feet
A giant surprise, yours alone to meet
There's no way up, so don't wallow in fear
No need to drown in a pool of your own tears
Down down down the rabbit hole!
Down!
(She's falling! She's falling down!)
How did I wind up here?
With this strange crowd?
When will my feet hit the ground?
(She's falling! She's falling down!)
How did I wind up here?
In this strange land
When will I find...
Time and time again
We seek the answers
Time and time again
We fail to question
Time and time again
We go down, down, down...
Now let's just skip straight to chapter eight
She's tired of your so-called friendly debate
The riddles and tales you present to appease
Will be of no help when she's down to her knees
Down down down the rabbit hole!
Through trial and error one must learn to accept
But that's not the case, here, we're taught to forget
Don't you think for a second that the rules are dead
What's that my dear? Off with her head!
Down down down the rabbit hole!
Down!
(She's falling! She's falling down!)
How did I wind up here?
With this strange crowd?
When will my feet hit the ground?
(She's falling! She's falling down!)
How did I wind up here?
In this strange land
When will I find...
How did we get here to a place where the notes don't sound?
How did we get here to a place that stands alone in a crowd?
Take me back to that field that I've never been
Take me back to that sky that I've never seen
How did we let the sound slip away?
How did we let the sound slip away?
Ahhhh I can't wait for Orphans!!
WOW. Super impressed with this new song!! Being an "oldschool" Agonist fan...this kicks ass.
Here for the 1 million views!
4:16 shit, she's become a beast now
This is purely comeback for the agonist
This song is definitely one of their best, and I can't wait to hear more of the new material. I'm not really even going to compare Vicky and Alissa because they are both damn good. I like a few of their older songs, but this one has quickly become a favorite of mine.
Vicky = Victory.. SMASHING GOOD!
la la la laa la la laaa
I swear that "Down down down the rabbit hole" line gives me life!!
That guitarist is killing it! \m/\m/
I'm almost sure that this is the best thing they've released since Prisioners. I can even feel some vibe from Lullabies too.
True
Awesomeness all the way through. Unbelievable ending. Vicky in her best form!!! Great work!!!
She really worked on those Screams. The whole band works perfectly now 👌
Finally, a video that best depicts my wife's PMS. no seriously .. great track!
Fun fact : Psaraki in Greek means little fish .
"Vicky the little fish" but with her growls in the end, she must be called "Vicky the megalodon" .
I think this was the best release with Vicky on vocals!
this actually makes me want to hear Vicky cover Jinjer's "Pisces" all the more badly
Σωστός!
They're all jupiterian
never underestimate the small fish as the small fish become big and they bite harder then you think and that's what Vicky shows us
Pou se re oresth antrakla :DD
Saw them this week live in Luxembourg. Great band!
VICKY you are growing up so good! Amazing song, powerfull voice!! Aplauses, Aplauses! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Grettings from Argentina The Agonist's crew
I LOVE THIS SONG
That`s a big progress for the band musically!I love Vicky`s vocals still.They are more to growl than ever before.I like it much!
wow holy shhh this is soo amazing !!!!!!! the beginning that soft siren voice and then the growls better and better!! the Agonist is rising
Didn't expect the transition somewhere in the 2-minute mark.
Then comes 4:20.
Tis be heavy. I like dis.
Damn! Same what I thought when I heard it!
420 lol
@@locket5673 blaze it
@@locket5673 No weed reference there, but glad you noticed it. XD
Blaze it all tha way, bruv.
I'm in infinite loop since this music it was launched!
YESSS! This is what I’m talking about!
I haven’t even thought about listening to The agonist since Alissa but I think I just became a fan again. I sincerely can’t stop listening to this song🖤
OMFG! Sick! Get that album out NOW!
Usually I don't write comments. This time I simply must. I'm a metalhead for nearly 30 years. I wasn't a huge fan of The Agonist, until now. I enjoyed some of the older tracks (like Business suits and combat boots with Alyssa) and some after Vicky joined the band (like Gates of horn and ivory). When I've pressed play to listen to Orphans, I instantly started to bang my head... and so it was until the very last second of the album. After all those years of listening to tons of metal, it's not an easy task to impress me. This album is a f***in masterpiece. I was waiting for a weaker track while listening, but.. nope, sorry. It's perfectly complete as a whole. The tracks vary pretty much, but each and every one fits in perfectly. The emotions that this album evokes are beyond words to describe. It's agressive, dark, but so uplifting and energetizing at the same time. Everything is just perfectly in place. Starting with Vicky's vocals which became so expressive now, with all the techniques used being perfect - melodic, pugnacious, all so true while's she's singing clean. Her growling also came to another level, and when she goes to her lower growling, the devil himself sh*ts his pants and runs away scared. Those who expected her to fail when she took over Alyssa's place were so wrong. In my eyes, Vicky just joined the all-time hall fame of female metal queens. Besides, the band has improved and evolved in a such a great manner, avoiding losing their own style, but still going forward. Also the guitars are at a new level now imho. Astounding riffs, great solos here and there keep the album rolling like an unstoppable tank. Last, but not least, the drums - same as with vocals and guitars, level up. Altogether, this album is a strong 9/10 (just because they'll release a new one and I'll run out of scale) and a very strong candidate for the LP of the year. There's only one downside, it just ends too fast. \m/
Awesome dude
The Gift of Silence is amazing and single worthy but i agree that they're all good songs on the album
Sir: we found him--the comment of comments
And now they disbanded... :(
@@Sayuku_P "Thank You" for the info, missed this one, I'm happy that I've seen them once live, such a fuckin pity ;/
Holy mother.... this is how Agonist should look like, Vicky getting better and better...
Yes!
whomever starts an indefinite statement with ”mother" gets a ++
Fuck a look, I am here for the feels.
No she's not Vicky fucking sucks and the music they keep.making gets less and less attention they shouldn't have essentially kicked out the most talented person in the band
@@raynebenson9040 "fuckin blow those words out the back of your head - i've heard it all and im done with that shieeet". Atreyu said it best.
I saw this video on UA-cam and I was like "I've never liked the agonist but let's see what's new" holy shit! One minute later I was heading to Spotify to download it in my list LOL now I have to listen to all albums with this new singer and I'm looking forward to listening something new
Holy Shit!!! That's so Epic!!!!
This is the real Agonist!
Holy!!!! The vocals at 4.15!!! That's what I'm talking about!
It's one the BEST 2019 songs so far!! Can't stop replaying !
What an epic opener to the album.
amazing song from every band member. Simply superb!
I love this new song and now I am really looking forward to the album. I especially love the part at 4:16.
This song has it all. Stunning.
Estoy impresionado con la voz de Vicky, sobretodo al final 😨😨
Este álbum vendrá con todo 😍
Le arreglan la voz así le asian con alissa
Saul Hernandez habrá que ver los lives. En los últimos que recuerdo ya se notaba una mejoría en su voz, pero incluso en estudio el cambio es notable en comparación a los dos álbumes anteriores. Es de esperarse que mejore con los años de práctica, ya lleva 5 con la banda.
@@saulhernandez5030 De lo que me acuerdo, cuando entró a la banda igual le arreglaban la voz y sonaba como la mierda.
Pues si tiene un gutural orible pero si esta chida la canción
Damn, she killed it.
Dear lord buddha!!!!!! Great jam!!!! Never heard of this band before.
I still listen to this tune on a continuous basis
I used to have beers almost every weekend with Simon back in the day in Montreal. (circa Alissa ). Fun dude to hang with and he was a killer drummer back than... but damn he has evolved. The cage got rattled when Alissa left but Vicky is a reckoning force in her own right and the perfect replacement. I'm loving the evolution of style in this track. Cheers!
Power without end , one of the best songs from The Agonist !!!
holy shit Vicky,i didnt knew she changed this much for this little time and this is pretty awesome
Unbelievably good. It's nightwish good. Maybe even better. More intense
Damn, was not expecting those lows at the end. Haunting and beautiful, great work on everything!
Do you think that was really her or was it studio magic?
Jimi Erickson I was thinking the same. Really curious how it's going to sound live.
@@jimijames27 Definitely her, but theyre probably a little bit boosted i guess, also what makes it sound more cooler is those choirs in the background but im afraid the song is probably going to sound awful live
@@jimijames27 I totally believe it's her from what I have been seeing in many The Agonist live videos from 2018 to here, not of this song for sure, but of many others from Alissa's time like "Panophobia" or "Thank you Pain", Vicky's growls are becoming more and more solid, I'm sure Orphans and the next albuns she'll be showing vocals as great as Tetiana from Jinjer or Lauren Hart from Once Human. GO LITTLE GREEK DEMON, GO!!!
Now this is the real The Agonist, absent for almost 7 years
This is so good! Vicky got so much better I would say. All these different styles in one single song - just awesome!
Very pleased by this single!!
Reality80 yeah The last album sounded like garbage for me
Solo queda recordar a esta pedazo de banda ❤️
Love this song. Best Agonist song since Business Boots I think.
The real and pure The Agonist.
YAS VICKY YAS! YOU GO GIRL! 🔥🔥🔥
The last part is my fave
But the whole song is amazing
Gonna be a good year for true metal.
Trve*
eviljagtech exactly! Fleshgod, Amon, Agonist, and so many more!
Holy shit! I was directed to Orphans after I mentioned that I didn't listen to The Agonist anymore because it sounded like they just tried to shift the new girl into her position instead of having the whole band adapt and letting her do her thing. Digging the new sound.
Just brutaaaaal, I love my Vicky girl
This video should have more views. Let's all get it to a million before new year!
2 years later and it's only 1.3 :/
